Archinvest

What Archinvest does

Archinvest is a Paris-based, AMF-regulated asset management company (Archinvest SAS, GP-202221) founded in 2022 that operates a curated fund-of-funds platform giving private investors and wealth managers access to institutional-quality private equity strategies historically reserved for institutional allocators. Its product shelf spans six vehicles covering European LBO (LBO 2), US LBO (LBO US 1, US 2), private debt (Dette Privée 2), secondaries (Secondaire 2), and direct co-investments (Co-Investment 1), with minimum subscription tickets of €100,000-300,000 and target fund sizes ranging from €30m to $60m. Underlying exposure is sourced from first-quartile fund managers including Thoma Bravo, Blackstone Strategic Partners, Ares, Goldman Sachs, ICG, Neuberger Berman, Oakley Capital, Main Capital Partners, CapVest, Archimed, Hayfin, Veritas Capital, Clearlake Capital, and Chicago Pacific Founders, with each fund targeting 40-60 (and up to ~5,000 in secondaries) underlying portfolio companies. The three co-founders (Nicolas Macquin, Emilie Loyer-Buttiaux, Pierre-Olivier Desplanches) collectively bring 70 years of private equity experience and co-invest in each fund offered, aligning interests with subscribers.

The core operating technology is a proprietary digital platform (app.archinvest.am) that handles investor onboarding, KYC, subscription, and semi-annual reporting, supplemented by HubSpot-driven expert meeting scheduling, an educational content library (LBO guide, PE glossary), webinars, and an ESG analysis framework applied to underlying fund selection. Distribution runs through a hybrid model: direct self-service via the platform, a curated B2B2C network of 100+ wealth advisors (CGPs), family offices, and private banks (150 partners reported as of November 2024), and dedicated expert sales coverage for private banks and large family offices across France with growing reach into the US via the LBO US vehicles.

Revenue is generated through recurring management fees on assets under management across the fund-of-funds vehicles plus performance-based carried interest on successful investments; all funds are closed to redemptions during fund life. Marketing relies on content-driven top-of-funnel (website, LinkedIn, YouTube, financial press such as Funds Magazine, Club Patrimoine, Agefi, CFNews) and mid-funnel conversion via newsletter, webinars, and HubSpot-booked expert consultations. The firm is privately held by its three co-founders, headquartered at 28 Cours Albert 1er, 75008 Paris, and operates with a small core team (1-10 employees) focused on fund selection and platform operations.

Direct peers

• iCapital Network: US-headquartered fintech platform providing wealth managers and HNW investors access to alternative investments including PE FoFs. Comparable technology-led, multi-manager access model used by financial advisors.
• Capital Croissance: French PE fund-of-funds vehicle distributing to private investors and wealth advisors in France. Direct local competitor given similar target segments (HNW/CGP) and PE fund-of-funds structure.
• Moonfare: Digital private equity fund-of-funds platform enabling HNW individuals to access top-tier PE managers online. Closest comparable — same digital, multi-manager, multi-strategy PE access model for European retail/HNW clients.
• Yieldstreet: US digital platform offering curated access to private market investments (including PE, private debt, secondaries) for individual investors. Comparable digital distribution of multi-strategy alternative products to non-institutional investors.
• Eres (Marchés Privés): French employee-savings and private wealth specialist with PE fund-of-funds offerings targeted at French retail and HNW clients. Overlaps directly on French PE FoF distribution to private investors.
• Fundshop: French digital platform distributing private equity funds to retail/HNW investors via wealth advisors. Comparable curated PE fund distribution and minimum ticket sizing for the French wealth channel.

Broad incumbents

• StepStone Group: Global private markets investment firm with substantial fund-of-funds franchise. Overlaps as a multi-manager PE platform, though it operates at large institutional scale rather than HNW digital distribution.
• LGT Capital Partners: Swiss-based global multi-asset manager with extensive fund-of-funds, private equity and private debt programs. Comparable multi-manager FoF capabilities, although primarily serving institutional and family office mandates.
• Eiffel Investment Group: Paris-based alternative asset manager operating private debt, private equity and transition infrastructure strategies. Broader competitor with overlapping investor base and French-market distribution footprint.
• Capital Four Management: European alternative credit and private markets investment manager with multi-strategy capabilities. Comparable in providing diversified alternative product access, though operating at much larger scale.
